History
The New Brunswick Bible Institute was founded in the fall of 1944 by Rev. John Parschauer and a group of fellow Christian men who saw the need for a Bible-centred school where young men and women could receive training and be sent forth to evangelize. The school’s very first board was that of the Canadian Sunday School Mission, and acquired land and buildings through fundraising and significant financial contributions made by William McGee. The school’s first enrolment consisted of ten students. Parschauer left the NBBI after ten years and went on to found another Bible college, Bibelschule Brake in Lemgo, Germany.In 1947, the NBBI was recognized by an act of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, and saw increased enrolment and expansion in the decades that followed., the NBBI has an enrolment of 60 students and a 100 acre campus with 22 buildings. Its main building includes classrooms, administration offices, a library, bookstore, lounge, dining hall, weight room, and gymnasium. Both the men’s and women’s dorms are located on campus. The women’s dorm is Liberty Hall, while the men’s is Beacon Hall.
